I Recieved two 3 week old puppies from a Lady this evening after their mother was killed by the same Ladys pit bull.
I went and picked the wee ones up ASAP and was shocked to see thier environment they were outside in the wun in a rusty old cage with a very dirty blanket as bedding, The lady said they were born there and have been there since. I am really concerned about Parvo b/c she did have other dogs and since she is out in the woods the can at anytime come in contact with coons or skunks that carry parvo or even distemper. My question is how soon can I vaccinate them? They are no longer under the protection of there mothers milk. And I just dont want them to get sick
ALSO They are INFESTED with fleas. Anyone have something that would be safe for a three week old?
TY in advance!
